Conversation Street Podcast Episode #729 and Press Day Interviews

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Corrie shown between the 19th and the 23rd April (Episodes #11,839 - 11,843)

The date every Corrie fan has been waiting for over the past couple of months has finally arrived - and whether you were tuning in for marriage or murder, anticipation was high ahead of Thursday’s trip to Weatherfield. Of course, viewers remain just as much in the dark about who meets their maker, but with a couple of new suspects emerging this week - along with even more motives - there’s still plenty to theorise about. As for the wedding, this was our second viewing after being lucky enough to catch a sneak preview at the Corrie press day, and our opinions on the episode did actually change on a repeat viewing - for the better, we might add! It's a jam packed Street Talk this week, and we can't wait to find out what happens next!

In The Kabin, we find out how the Corrie alumni fared in the I'm A Celebrity final and find out what new additions have been made to the Coronation Street Experience exhibit this weekend,  then we finish things off with more of your lovely feedback.

Throughout the week, we've also been releasing video interviews that we recorded at the recent Corrie press day. There's still more to come next week, but until then we hope you enjoy our chats with Sue Devaney, Vinta Morgan and Sydney Martin!

Conversation Street Podcast Episode #728

On this week's podcast, we take a look at what went on in Weatherfield between the 10th and the 17th April 2026 (Episodes #11,832 - 11,837)

Although on the whole we felt like this was another good week Corrie, it still demonstrated to us the very highs and very lows of what the show can deliver nowadays. On the one hand, you have an embarrassing 'fire' at Roy's Rolls that was achieved with not even a flicker of a flame and just a load of very CGI-looking smoke; on the other, you have Wednesday's exemplary single thread episode that followed Todd and his friends as he finally broke free of Theo's control and  went to the police after another terrible beating. Props to everyone involved there, and we really do hope that the smiling Todd we enjoyed at the end of the week is the one we'll be seeing a lot more of in the coming weeks and months - he deserves it! Also this week, Carl discovers another potential source of cash, Jodie puts her stolen warrant card to use and Ben continues to be at loggerheads with Maggie.

In the Kabin, we take a look abut how some ex-Corrie cast have been getting on in I'm A Celeb, and we round off the show with a bumper crop of your fantastic feedback.

Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited behind the scenes at Coronation Street for a press day, where as well as being able to view a sneak preview of some very special upcoming episodes, we had the chance to chat with a bunch of cast members and take a look around Underworld and Debbie's flat! But that wasn't all that made this trip to Manchester special: we also got to take a picture with Barbara Knox at a prestigious local event, met with CBBC star and mega Corrie fan Hacker T Dog and went on the Coronation Street Experience on a bunch of lovely puppers! On this special episode of the podcast, we chat about our experience, overlaid with a tonne of photos and footage from the weekend.

Also this week, we sat down in Roy’s Rolls with Gareth Pierce to discuss his role at the heart of the show’s coercive control storyline.

Conversation Street Podcast Episode #702

In our latest podcast, we chat about what went on in Corrie between the 13th and the 17th October (Episodes #11,693 - 11,698).

In what turned out to be a rather mixed week on the cobbles, some storylines failed to hit the mark while others had us completely gripped – most notably the escalating game of cat and mouse between Theo and Todd. We were stunned when Theo brazenly admitted to Todd that he’d been unfaithful, blaming Todd’s supposed closeness with Billy, and we loved seeing Todd finally stand up for himself – especially with his not-so-subtle flaunting of his ex during the Rovers’ Mr and Mrs contest. However, as we all know, this abusive relationship is far from its conclusion... Elsewhere on the Street, we saw poor Tyrone struggling to adjust to life in a wheelchair amidst constant bickering from his family, while Asha’s return from hospital showed she is clearly still suffering too. Meanwhile, Becky wasted no time in making herself at home at Number 6 while Carla was away, Carl pushed Abi to take Kevin to the cleaners in their divorce, and Hope found herself the target of some malicious text messages – but who could be behind them?

Last week, we were lucky enough to be invited to the press day at Coronation Street, where we got a sneak preview of an upcoming episode, sat in on an interview with producer Kate Brooks and had an access all areas tour of the set, where we investigated every nook and cranny of the main outdoor area (including having a look at what was behind closed doors!) and the main studios themselves, where we got a close up look at sets including the Platt house, the police station and the Rovers Return. In this episode of the podcast, we chat about the experience (don't worry - no big spoilers about upcoming scenes!) and share tonnes of photos and footage of the day.
